c."The bulb lasts more than 50 hours".
d"The bulb lasts less than 50 hours".
e.None of the above

4.The event F' ∩ G' is
a.All possible times.
b."The bulb lasts between 120 hours or less".
c."The bulb lasts 50 hours or more".
d."The bulb lasts between 50 and 120 hours inclusive".
e.None of the above
